The 3-4 is scary, you need a big NG not sure who that is. .. but on the upside you have a lot of opportunities to disguise blitzers and can do a lot with the lbs.

whammy has said our 3-4 won't necessarily have a NT.....just bring the 4th LB on the weak side to the LOS. This LB is going to be called "The Bob" and BAW is the perfect fit for the position. whammy also said the 3-4 will not be our base defense.

I am probably missing something, but it sounds like having 2 down linemen is just a poor idea. ...

A fast 4-3 another words? You still have 4 on the line but the outside one on the weakside is a big LB able to cove more ground than a DT. Speed seems to be more and more key in stopping offenses than size is.

What is the story behind that nickname?

I don't recall Strong used it. I do remember Ellis having all the linemen standing for a few plays. They called it the chaos package or something.

Seems like Cooper would be ideal for a 4-3 outside backer, maybe English as well but he might be a tad large.

I think they won't use it as a base, at least I hope not. Like I said not sure they have a big nose tackle to anchor the line and fill holes, if they don't there is not much point in blitzing a lb. This team seems to have small quick lbs not the big run stuffing mike backers. But the 3-4 would be a great addition to give opposing qbs somthing else to read in passing situations. Again just my opinion.

What would be nice is if one of those LBs could develop into an elite pass rushing DE like Vic Beasley at Clemons. But you know what they say, take poop in one hand and hope in the other, clap and see whatcha get.
